Structural Changes of the Cyanobacterial Clock

An animation of the structural changes in the KaiA-KaiB-KaiC cyanobacterial circadian oscillator during its daily cycle. This animation is based on biochemical data over the last two decades from researchers all over the world.

This video was created by members members of the Partch lab at UC Santa Cruz, and Iwasa Lab at the University of Utah Animation Lab. Dr. Carrie Partch is a member of the UC San Diego Center for Circadian Biology.
